Hush Now

I won't bury you in the basement As I've been known to do I won't bludgeon your memory Leave you crying out for truth There's a song we sing together The song of me and you And I was hoping that we could fix it At least just fiddle around with the tune But you go right, I go left You go forward, I go back And we're dancing this waltz alone You go up, I go down, lost our grip And now we've found ourselves Dancing this waltz alone Hush now, don't cry It's just a lullaby I won't leave you Til you close your eyes Hush now don't cry It's just a lullaby I'll tell you sweet lies I won't leave your side We were peaceful when we were sleeping Or after we had a fight We were civil when people were watching We were worst when we were right You'd go in, I'd go out We'd forget what it's about And we'd start dancing this waltz alone You would smile and I'd frown You gave it up, now who's the clown That is dancing this waltz alone Hush now, don't cry It's just a lullaby I won't leave you Til you close your eyes Hush now don't cry It's just a lullaby I'll tell you sweet lies I won't leave your side
